摘要： A machine and method of operation thereof to pick-up individual bales of hay or other forage material from the field to create a package of individual bales that is silage-wrapped with plastic before being discharged back to the ground. The receiving table is pivotally supported on the frame of the machine to provide the ability to re-orient the package for wrapping plastic about orthogonal axes. A clamping and elevating mechanism is operable to lift layers of individual bales to permit the formation of subsequent layers therebeneath until the desired package size has been completed. The clamping members are rotatably mounted to allow rotation of the elevated package for wrapping plastic around the periphery thereof. Ejection of the wrapped package is accomplished by pivoting the telescopic members mounting the clamping members to a horizontal orientation and releasing the package. The reversal of the discharge process can be utilized to retrieve wrapped packages from the field.

摘要： A method of wrapping crop material in a round baler having a main frame including opposing sidewalls, and an apron assembly comprising crop engaging elements disposed between said sidewalls for defining a bale forming chamber having a generally cylindrical shape with a transverse inlet. The crop engaging elements move along a path having an inner course contiguous with a major portion of the fixed periphery of the cylindrical chamber. The baler also includes a pickup assembly for feeding crop material to the chamber through the inlet whereby crop material accumulated in the chamber is engaged by the crop engaging elements and formed into a compacted cylindrical package. A supply of net material is dispensed into the chamber for wrapping the periphery of the formed cylindrical package of crop material in the chamber. A supply of twine is simultaneously dispensed into the chamber for wrapping the periphery of the cylindrical package of crop material. Cutting means severe the net while the twine is being dispensed into the chamber. Subsequently the twine is cut by the same cutting means.

摘要： A hay harvesting machine in which previously cut crop material in a windrow or swath on the ground is picked up and inverted to position a damp side up and a dry side down; as the crop is inverted, it is directed laterally toward one side of the machine and rearwardly; after inversion, the crop is turned further and conveyed for discharge back onto the ground laterally displaced from its original position on the ground.
